Drama Series Changes Channels, Gets an Extra Season

A drama series that has been in the works for some time is moving to a new home. WarnerMedia announced today that the futuristic thriller “Snowpiercer,” starring Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs, is headed to TBS, where it now has a two-season order.

The first season of the show, which was originally intended for TNT, is due to premiere in spring 2020.

“‘Snowpiercer’ is the perfect show to kick off TBS’ entry into dramas, with intricate storytelling, stunning visuals and first-class acting,” said Brett Weitz, general manager for TBS and TNT. “We believe in the longevity of this series and that audiences will be amazed by the fantastical world that brings to life such relevant social, political and environmental issues.”
